Parents in the 21st century are particularly burdened by the sense that they don’t have time to do all that needs to be done. Ask any parent-friend of yours how they are and they’re likely to say: “busy.” With all the things we try to provide for our kids- school, piano lessons, soccer, playdates, time with extended family- and, oh yeah, by the way, church… it all feels like too much. In this episode, Cameron and Anna explore what God's Word tells us about the gift of time, and how we can learn to steward it wisely.

When You Hit a Wall Because You Tried to Do It All
In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna address parental burnout: what causes it, and how can parents respond in a way that is faithful to God and loving to their children? Through examining the story of Elijah, whose burnout led him to despair, you'll be reminded that you can't do it all- and God has never expected you to.1 Kings 19: 1-8Jesus for the Weary Mother by Dawson Cooper A Grandmother’s Encouragement To Weary Moms by Tracey Rector A Father’s Day Gift for Dead-Tired Dads by Davis Lacey Grace for the Non-Supermom by Jenny Lisa Follow us @rootedministry!Please rate and review the Rooted Parent Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts!

Trusting God with My Child's Future
Every parent has hopes and dreams for their child, but we get into trouble when we try to make those dreams come true instead of leaving the future in God's hands where it belongs. In this episode of the Rooted Parent Podcast, Cameron and Anna examine the biblical story of Rebecca and her two sons, and how her best intentions cause her family a world of hurt.

Trusting in Our Limitless God
Meditating on the incommunicable attributes of our limitless God can bring such comfort to finite human beings. In this episode, Cameron and Anna talk about the ways that humans cannot be like God- and don't even need to try to be like God. Much of the trouble we get into as parents (or with sin, in general) comes from trying to be "like God." But the boundaries God put around his creation are for our good and flourishing.Psalm 16: 5-8 None Like Him: 10 Ways God Is Different from Us (and Why That's a Good Thing) by Jen Wilkin A Parent’s Limits: God’s Gift or Satan’s Trap? by Joey Turner Knowing What We Don’t Know: How Our Spiritual Limits Bring Us Closer to God by Tracey Rector Good News For Parents: God Knows Everything by Carolyn Lankford Rooted 2017: Jen Wilkin on Living as Those with a Living Hope

The Experience of Hitting Our Limits
Have you ever said, "It's all too much!" "How are we going to do it all?" "There aren't enough hours in the day!" If so, this episode is for you. Cameron and Anna discuss the overwhelm of being a parent today. Because the gospel begins with bringing us to the spiritual end of ourselves, Jesus is where we find hope and yes, even rest, when we have too much to do.
